When the second charge began, the momentum was completely different.
10,000 men formed 20 squares, rushing towards the city gate, the front and rear of the two squares of the task is focused, some are specifically responsible for the charge, some focus on covering, all the soldiers, are armed with flintlock pistols, against the city wall and the waiting at the city gate, the sound of guns and bows and arrows breaking through the air, intertwined in the air.
The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who charged, and the Houjin Tartars on the city wall and in the city gate, suffered heavy casualties, such a way of charging, the Jiangning battalion was rarely used, and they generally charged after blowing up the city wall, but this time the artillery shells carried were not very many, and it was impossible to use them all up when attacking Fushun City, and a part of them must be left to deal with the Houjin Tartars who came to reinforce them.
After heavy casualties, the gates were quickly breached.
Sonny knelt in front of Hauge, struggling to admonish.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the city of Fushun is in danger, the minister implores His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to evacuate quickly, the minister has arranged for the soldiers to escort the evacuation of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is related to the safety of the society of my Great Qing Kingdom, and must not be rash, the minister commands the soldiers in Fushun City to resist the attack of the Jiangning battalion."
Haoge's attitude is very resolute, unwilling to evacuate Fushun City, firstly, he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Qing Kingdom, with his own dignity, if he evacuates Fushun City at this critical moment, it will be a huge blow to many soldiers who resist, and secondly, most of the soldiers responsible for resistance are soldiers of the Blue Banner. As the banner master, he can't leave the soldiers at this time, and there are many Manchu nobles in Fushun City, and in terms of duty, he needs to protect the safety of these people.
As early as when the Jiangning battalion surrounded the city of Fushun, Sony made a suggestion. It is recommended that Haoge go to Zhenbei Pass, guard in Zhenbei Pass, be able to coordinate as a whole, and once the battle situation in Fushun is unfavorable, order the soldiers to firmly hold Zhenbei Pass, and at the same time consider the retreat of the soldiers in the direction of the Mulun River, return to the place where the Jurchen people originated, and gather strength.
Just when the Jiangning battalion began to attack Fushun City, Sony still thought so. It is considered that there is time to do it, and 15,000 soldiers can resist for a long time, relying on the soldiers with the blue flag, as well as some of the soldiers with the yellow flag and the yellow flag, they can guard for at least a month.
As for the Manchu nobles in Fushun City, Sony can't take care of them so much, these Manchu nobles. If you have the ability, follow Hauge to rush out. It can be saved, if you can't rush out, then you can only blame your own bad life, in fact, these Manchurian nobles came to Fushun, Sony was a little impatient, they involved Hauge's energy. As a result, many deployments have changed as a result, and the consequences are now being felt.
"Sony, I won't retreat, there are still a lot of Manchurian dignitaries in the city, and we need to stabilize their emotions. I will retreat, and when the city is broken, I will retreat with many Manchurians. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not have such thoughts, if there is such a plan, it will be difficult to retreat, the minister implores His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to prepare, the minister has made arrangements to escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to evacuate Fushun ......"
Before Sonny could finish his words, a pro-soldier entered, his face pale.
"Your Royal Highness, the sergeant of the Jiangning Battalion has already captured the city wall and rushed into the city."
Sonny's face changed, the attack that began in the early hours of the morning, just after noon at this moment, the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion rushed into the city, could it be that their strength was so frightened.
Hauge's face changed, but his mood still seemed stable.
At this moment, there was a loud and shouting in the courtyard, mixed with crying.
Another personal soldier came in to report, saying that many Manchurian nobles knew the news of the city break, and they had gathered here, probably at a loss, thinking about what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had, and at this time, it was estimated that it was safest to follow His Royal Highness the Prince's side.
Sony's face turned pale, it was already a critical moment, even if the Jiangning battalion attacked Fushun City, he also had a way to let the soldiers escort Haoge to leave Fushun City safely, but if so many Manchurian nobles came in, it would be really difficult to do, but he didn't dare to lose his temper, after all, among these powerful people, there were the families of Daishan, Dolgon, and Duoduo, although Daishan, Dolgon, and Duoduo all donated their lives.
Sonny looked at Hauge and spoke again, his tone becoming very hurried.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the situation is critical, the minister has offended, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to obey the minister's arrangement."
After Sony finished speaking, several pro-soldiers entered the house.
Sonny spoke expressionlessly to these pro-soldiers.
"The safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is left to you, what to do, I don't want to say more, act according to the set plan, as for the full people outside the house, I will deal with it."
Several pro-soldiers stepped forward to hold Hauge and walked towards the backyard, Hauge thought about struggling, thinking about roaring, but there were still many Manchurian nobles in the front yard, if he made too much noise, I am afraid that there would be a bad effect.
There were already a hundred pro-soldiers waiting in the backyard, these pro-soldiers were the most elite warriors, and they were responsible for protecting Haoge's safety with one blow to ten, and they had to send Haoge to Zhenbei Pass all the time.
A flower stand in the backyard, the flowers and plants on the surface have long been removed, and a black hole is exposed, and Haoge wants to evacuate Fushun from here.
There are very few people who know this secret hole, for the safety of Hauge, Sony has long been prepared accordingly, and all the officials who know the entrance of this cave have died violently without exception, in order to prevent the secret of the cave from being leaked.
The entrance of the cave leads directly to the outside of Fushun City, and in a very small temple outside the city, no one would have thought of it.
Sonny walked to the front yard and saw a large number of Manchu dignitaries waiting in the front yard.
Looking at these full people, Sony secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Hauge can be safe, these people will do their best to protect it.
Many Manchurian people saw Sonny come out, and they all quieted down, they knew very well that Sonny had always accompanied His Royal Highness the Prince, and what he said after coming out must be on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Okay, you don't have to stay here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to command the battle, I can't meet with you, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have entered the city, the situation is very critical, after you return to your residence, quickly prepare, there will be a sergeant to escort you out of the city, but I also want to remind you that the battle in the city is extremely cruel, if you can't cope with and deal with urgent matters yourself, you can rely entirely on the soldiers, and it will be difficult to protect your thoughtfulness."
Many Manchurians did not have a fryer, at this time, they showed their quality, after listening to Sony's orders, they all turned around and left the courtyard, and it was useless to stay here, as for not seeing His Royal Highness the Prince, it was also because of the crisis in the city, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needed to command the battle.
Many Manchu nobles live in the official post in Fushun, the official post is not responsible for receiving other officials, as for some ordinary Manchu people, after coming to Fushun, they can only pay money to live in the inn, the most pitiful is the Han people in Fushun City, at such a moment, almost dare not go out, honestly stay at home, a little careless, may be regarded as a spy, directly beheaded is not accurate.
Watching many people leave the courtyard, Sony's face returned to a grim expression.
He knew very well that Fushun could not hold it, as the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion entered the city, everything was irretrievable, and Haoge insisted on staying in the city of Fushun, because there was a steady stream of Manchurian nobles coming, Sony and Aobai disagreed, thinking that Haoge should go to Zhenbei Pass, at least need to go to Kaiyuan, although the conditions of Kaiyuan and Zhenbei Pass are much worse, but from the aspect of campaign deployment, it is to occupy the initiative.
Sonny and Ao Bai are both sober, understanding that the Qing Dynasty has reached a low point, and it is difficult to compete with the Great Jin Dynasty for the time being, and the only choice is to avoid its edge, and the two agree with the opinions put forward by Prince Zheng Zierharang, especially the recklessness of the heroic king Azig, obviously unable to resist, but also to make a look of teeth and claws, confusing everyone, and also making themselves fall into a place of no return.
The fighting in the city is going on brutally, but this situation doesn't last long, and if you want to break through, you can only wait until night, and if you can break out of the city, part of it is part, and it always preserves some of the bloodlines of the Eight Banners.
Sony, as the commander-in-chief, has already made a lot of arrangements.
It's getting dark.
Sun Chuanting's face was grim, the number of sergeants who were invested in the siege reached more than 20,000 people, and the number of sergeants who stuck to the periphery was not much, once it was dark, the Houjin Tartars in Fushun City would choose to break through, at this time they must tighten their pockets, and they could not let the Houjin Tartars break through the siege, otherwise the battle to attack the Fushun city would not be perfect, and it could not even be said to be successful, and it would not have much effect to take the city. That's the most important thing.
Sun Chuanting and He Renlong did not expect that the Houjin Tartars stationed in Fushun City were so tenacious, taking advantage of the favorable terrain in the city to resist desperately, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who attacked also suffered great casualties.
Commanded and participated in so many battles, this time the casualties are estimated to be the largest.
This also made Sun Chuanting's temper a little bigger, the Houjin Tartars who were sticking to the Fushun City, less than 20,000 Houjin Tartars, the battle went on for a whole day, and the soldiers had entered the city, but they still couldn't take Fushun City, and they couldn't completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, and the Jiangning Battalion soldiers who attacked Fushun City were more than twice as many as the Houjin Tartars.
Looking at He Renlong beside him, Sun Chuanting spoke word by word.
"General He, you can't stop attacking at night, but the attacking personnel can be reduced, and the encirclement of the four gates of Fushun City must be strengthened. (To be continued......)
